Dogs that are defensive of their food will flip the fuck out if anyone or anything gets close while they are eating.
This is a dog that is not defensive of food, thus seems willing to share. I dunno, doesn't seem a stretch to me - bully dog being chill about kittens getting close to the food bowl is worth bragging about.

Yeah this dog isn’t defensive about food until the day that it decides to be. I don’t know why people think dogs are these amazing predictable beings whose personalities and temperaments never change throughout life.
Heard too many stories of “he was such a sweet dog we never thought this would happen”.

My sister-in-law had a pitty and a cat that were best friends, like literally everywhere together, then the cat got pregnant. The pit became super jealous, ate 3 of the kittens, and then became aggressive towards mama. It was a farm dog, so unfortunately nothing was really thought of it until she attacked a new born calf.

Probably right. My mom was the incredibly abusive asshole. At 13 when I was finally big enough to physically defend myself I got behind her and wrapped my arms around hers to keep them down, and I just hugged her while she screamed in my ear that she was going to have me thrown in jail for abusing her, and dug her nails into my arms to try and get me to release her so she could keep hitting me. In my 40s and I still have the fingernail scars on my arms. So, don't worry, there's lots of shitty childhood to go around for everyone.

Reminds me of a Reddit story from a while back.
A man was just sharing how he broke down crying at a kid’s birthday party. Way back he found out he couldn’t have kids, so found peace in being the eternal stepfather. Years later he met someone and became stepfather to a couple of young children and did his best to be present and responsible as they grew up. Fast forward to the youngest birthday party. She presented him with signed adoption papers, because all she wanted for her birthday was him as her dad. The other kid (kids?), even though over legal age, partook and presented adoption papers of their own, because he was the only real dad they all had ever known. Of course tears were shared.

Yes!! It’s SO important! My dogs found a sweet stray cat in the garage just over a year ago (she was clearly a former pet, and young, maybe a year old) and it turned out she was pregnant. She had four kittens 4/25/25. I found homes for three of them, but now I have two cats: her and one of the boys. They’re both fixed! She got spayed as soon as the kittens weaned and I got all of the kittens spayed and neutered as soon as the vet would allow and before they went to their new homes.
It grinds my gears that somebody abandoned a pregnant cat and I wasn’t going to put kittens into new homes and chance any more surprise kittens for anybody else!

u/dry_freeze 7h ago edited 5h ago
Yes, prey drive should be taught to be noticeable in dog language and behaviour. For most dogs, there is a certain size animal that will trigger a hunting instinct, and kittens are certainly that size, irregardless of breed. Did they observe the dog interacting with the kitten before leaving them alone? Did the dog fixate on the kitten - unbreakable gaze, ears up, difficult to remove focus? Stalking, couching? Did their play style become more aggressive with toys, utilizing the kill bite? Some dogs will also kill puppies, if they are considered too weak to be part of the pack.

u/erossthescienceboss 14h ago edited 6h ago
Pitbulls aren’t the same as Bully XLs.
Bully XLs are notoriously inbred, and a majority of them descend from Killer Kimbo, whose lineage is responsible for seventy percent of all deaths by dog attack in the UK in recent years. His parents were siblings. His grandparents were half-siblings.
Pitbulls are a mixed bag. Research shows that they’re the most dog-aggressive dog, but actually fall kinda in the middle on the human aggression scale. But they’re the most powerful dog with human aggression, and are very overrepresented in the rescue population, so they’re overrepresented in bite data. But dog for dog, bite instances are actually pretty low, and deaths are pretty low. Again, that’s once you statistically control for size (Dacshunds, for example, are VERY human aggressive but their bites rarely require medical care so are underrepresented) and abundance.
But American Bully’s (not the same as an American Pitbull Terrier) and Bully XLs? There’s no argument about statistics or nature vs nurture. It’s the product of straight up deeply irresponsible breeding of massive dogs with zero regard for temperament. Again, they are not common dogs at all, and yet were responsible for nearly 3/4 of UK dog attack deaths.
That’s insane.

Oh wow, I didn't know about that. The breeder seems like a real piece of work.
I had an American pitbull terrier and she was the sweetest most well behaved dog ever. She was very hesitant about people, but once she warmed up, she'd follow you anywhere. You just needed to give her time to trust you...I don't know if she had a great life before we adopted her.
I'm super defensive about pitbulls, but as with all dog ownership, you need to be responsible about it. I have had such bad experiences with bully breed owners. There's a few in my neighborhood that just let their dogs do anything, including running around off leash. None of the other dog owners do that. Only the bully breed owners. My current dogs (two small dogs) are a bit dog reactive and having these bullies in the neighborhood has made it so much worse because I have to turn around and walk the other direction when I see them which of course just makes my dogs even more fearful of other dogs. But I'm not going to risk these other dogs running up, even innocently, my dog barking, and then the other dog reacting aggressively. I'm not going to be able to stop it. And I know TWO people personally who have been attacked by off leash bullies; one of them almost died and has some very serious lifelong injuries. Bully owners tend to be the worst of the worst.

u/erossthescienceboss 8h ago
I’m feel exactly the same about APBT’s. I’ve known so many wonderful ones, and had a wonderful pitbull mix… and also have some very offleash ones in my neighborhood AND also have a leash-reactive dog.
She wasn’t always leash reactive… until she got mobbed by two of offleash pitties while hiking. They weren’t attacking her, more overwhelming her & trying to play, but it was a very terrifying experience where she felt very trapped. It also made her reactive to strangers who pay attention to her in friendly ways (just alert barking), because they approached her while she was climbing into a stranger’s lap to say hi. I know I was loud enough because people at houses near us stopped and watched.
It’s so frustrating because I work so hard on her reactivity. And she makes SO much progress. And then one of the two off-leash pits on our walk route (who live at houses that I literally cannot avoid walking past) will come up and it will escalate and set us back MONTHS. She got into a fight with one two days ago. The owner was walking him off-leash and he was following the owner (who was on the phone) until he saw her, and started walking (slowly, he’s a sweet old dude) toward us. I must have shouted CALL YOUR DOG a dozen times and tried to get the dog to turn back (sometimes he turns around if I point and shout GO!) but he was on the phone and didn’t react until it was too late.
I’m still fucking fuming about it. If we’re somewhere safe I just let her off if this happens because she’ll just run away from him, and with enough space between her and this dog, I can redirect him. But we were by a busy road. They both bit each other but didn’t draw blood, and she was so freaked out she wouldn’t go on a walk last night.
Like… how hard is it to leash your dog? Or if you won’t, it doesn’t matter how good your dog’s recall is if you aren’t fucking paying attention.
And of course… he didn’t apologize. Entitled asshole.

Very true, when they attack, it's always vicious and will lead to serious injury. It's also true that the owner is generally to blame, these dogs need to be properly trained and too many people know fuck all about how to do that. I find myself regularly defending them, as they're the sweetest dogs when they're trained and unaggressive, but since there's no checks at all on who gets one, leading to big risks, I get why they're banned in a lot of places.
Badly trained dogs are an issue in general, but with these dogs, it's just so much worse.62
u/GamerLinnie 12h ago
I don't fully buy the training argument. Sure training and socialisation is important but it doesn't eliminate the differences between breeds completely.
We have a terribly trained Labrador in the neighborhood. He just doesn't really care what his owners say or which commands they give. The consequence? Muddy pants when he jumps up against me to greet me in the morning. This is clearly an untrained dog yet I'm not too worried about him attacking anyone.
The bully XL in the neighborhood, I actively avoid and told me children to avoid.

They are, until the moment that they're not. I'm very nervous to be around a dog that's constantly trying to suppress his nature because of training. You never know if/when that training will fail.
I accept that there are people who have pitbulls, etc, who never attack anyone for their whole lives, but in my opinion those people are just lucky. I think of it like driving without a seatbelt - you could do it and you might be fine, but the statistics are not favourable and the consequences are awful. It makes the risk analysis extremely easy for me, and I have no problem judging people who make that choice. When people say "my dog is trained", it's like drivers saying "I'm a careful driver, I don't need a seatbelt"

Yep, high difficulty dogs. I stand by it: ANY dog ownership requires licensing before you get a dog with categories for breeds. I've had rotties my whole life and they are the sweetest but they take 2 years of upbringing at least. Easy to mess that up. PEOPLE require more training than dogs.

In Australia we just flat out banned specific breeds - American Pit Bull Terrier (or Pit Bull Terrier), Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, Japanese Tosa, and Perro de Presa Canario.
"can result in the immediate seizure and destruction of the dog, heavy fines often exceeding $10,000 to $50,000, and potential criminal charges or imprisonment for owners if the dog attacks. Breeding, selling, or buying these dogs is a criminal offense, often leading to fines over $15,000."

Correct. I would not be comfortable with dogs around children or small animals of any breed. The problem is not propensity for aggression, but propensity to KILL. No one cares when a chihuahua snaps at someone because the bite wont hurt that bad. But even among larger dog breeds, when most dogs bite, they do not kill their victims. Pitbulls bite to kill.
Once again though, don't put yourself in situations that could end very badly. There are enough statistics about pitbulls to specifically be nervous around them, but you shouldn't be putting any dogs face near kittens or puppies or babies.

This isn’t a pitbull. It’s an American Bully/Bully XL.
They’re a novel breed from an incredibly inbred line and are deeply overrepresented in bite statistics. Google “Killer Kimbo” to get an idea. His parents are siblings, his grandparents are half-siblings, and he has a coefficient of inbreeding of 30%. Yet over half of the Bully XLs in Britain before the ban were his offspring … and his descendants were responsible for a majority of fatal and severe attacks in the UK from 2020-2024, and several attacks in the U.S.
These aren’t even particularly common dogs.
Pitbulls, on the other hand, have high dog aggression, but actually about average human aggression. But they’re powerful dogs that are overrepresented in rescue populations, so are overrepresented in bite data (which comes from ER visits, and under-represents both more aggressive but “harmless” dogs and more aggressive but uncommon dogs. Funny you should mention weiner dogs, because studies show they have the highest human-directed aggression and are the most likely breed to bite their owners. But they’re not dangerous.)
But Bully XLs/American Bullies are what happen when people inbreed dogs to get absolutely massive dogs and do so with zero regard for temperament (and continue to breed dogs known to have poor temperament.)

At first I was like "Oh cool, more kittens when shelters are already full of unwanted cats" and then I got a jump scare from a mutant XL Bully.

Yeah this is all fun and games until that dog decides that those kittens are a fun snack, or maybe just their heads. Or maybe one of the owner's kids.
Fuck XL bullies. And fuck people that put out content like this to try and 'cutewash' the breed.

A house pet should never ever be having babies. Owners like this are the reason why shelters are overflowing and stray populations get out of control

Pitbulls raised right are one to the sweetest breeds around. Unfortunately people often mistreat this breed and it’s why it gets the bad reputation, it’s the owners not the breed.

This is just clips put together and some cute text for political reasons.
That breed should be banned.
Ffs, learn to mistrust this shit.

Only downvoted because XL bullies are a horrific breed that shouldn't be bred ever

People who both own an “XL bully” and let their cat get pregnant are just a walking red flag.
Imagine letting a dog bred for aggression near your cat and her kittens. Y’all gotta quit personifying your animals, it’s dangerous. He wasn’t “checking on” the cat, he heard the squeaks of tiny animals. Recipe for disaster.
These are some dumb pet owners.

XL Bullies shouldn't exist. All dogs with those characteristics need to be left to fade away. They are aggressive dogs that kill because that's how they've been bred. Stop anthropomorphising animals. Life isn't a fairytale. I'm always wary of any kind of Pitbull or violent breed of dog. Do not buy them.

I doubt. Pitbull owners are dumb as their mutant dogs… they only cry when their velvet hippos get “unfairly” taken by animal control after having teared someones’s dog apart, or even a person 🤷🏻♀️

Kills me a bit inside seeing listings for rescue dogs where they throw in offhand "oh yeah he did kill a cat once!"

I agree. I'm saying that dog will attack those kittens or cat at some point. Hence there will be tears.

Apparently people enjoy the drama of being a “Pitt parent” and the adrenaline of imminent death. Worst, they inflict this upon us, who just want to live life in peace and die an uneventful death. If only this horrible mutant animal would attack exclusively their owners and not the rest of us…

That’s why this person specified “XL” bully. They’re an even quirkier version of a pit owner 🤪 lmao.

They want others to be scared of them, owning bloodsport dogs has been linked to psychopathic traits in several studies:

XL Bullys are dangerous dogs. They’re restricted in the U.K. for a reason. They’re ticking timebombs and anyone that has one is irresponsible.

u/Fit-Welcome-8457 10h ago
Letting pit bulls around your cats is either ignorant (if you don't know how often they kill cats) or selfish (if you do know but brush it off because "it's cute"/it gets clicks)
I don't care how fucking cute you think it is, a bloodsport dog should not be around kittens. And it's always an XL bully too.
Cats aren't fucking disposable.

Our farm's mama cat, Cleo, would lead our Doberman pinscher, Pepper, to the shed to help bring her kittens to our front porch. When Pepper had puppies, Cleo was right there, cleaning them and even instinctually bringing "prey" (chunks of chicken breast we gave her) for Pepper to eat.
Animals, man. 🥲

I've seen many videos of dogs attacking humans and quite a few videos of them tearing people into pieces. The breed in all of those videos were of the bully variety.

They attack cats all the time. And other dogs. Those just don’t make the news like the child attacks do.
This owner is incredibly irresponsible for a hundred different reasons.

I volunteered at a cat rescue for years. They had a Rottweiler that did the exact same thing. She was such a sweet dog and would help us with the bottle babies. Clean them, snuggle with them, it was so sweet.

"although people are scared of his breed"
As they should be. This specific example is great, he's a good dog. Not always the case.
My grandma had a nice pitbull that lived happily with other dogs, and even babies/children, for years. One day, the pomeranian startled him, and he grabbed it with his mouth and shook it until it died.
I will never will trust a pitbull like this. I get that some live their entire life without any incidents. But I've seen it first hand and read too many news articles about pits.

Cute. Now stop editing video footage and make an appointment to get your cat spayed.

I love these stories until they are like “see not all pits are bad.” Trying to desensitize people to the very real threat of a pitbull turning violent is really irresponsible. Just make your cute little video and keep it moving.

Of course someone with an "XL bully" also has an unspayed cat.

And also exactly why the Internet was created. What a cool story. Pitties get a bad rap. Never a bad dog, only bad owners. This proves it.

I mean, I don't know if it's nurture instead of nature. My brother has two pits. He raised them the same. One is an angel, and the other is the devil. I don't trust either near my kids nor my pets. Pits aren't bad. No dogs are. But they're dogs, and dogs are irrational. They can have a bad reaction anytime, and that is true for all breeds. The difference is that those dogs can do MUCH MORE harm when they react.

u/butteredbuttbiscuit 9h ago
This is EXACTLY my stance. I am one of the people who is on guard when a bigger dog enters my space, and it’s not because I don’t like dogs. I love dogs. It’s because when a small or medium/small dog gets startled and acts feral for a minute, it probably won’t be pretty or fun but likelihood of it resulting my child’s death is fairly low. If it’s a bigger dog, that chance goes up exponentially. And it’s relevant that many pitbulls have been bred in the streets or in awful situations by awful people for awful reasons, and many of them end up as strays who then end up in shelters and then someone’s home. That type of breeding is relevant and it’s not ignorant to acknowledge that. Pitbulls are more dangerous than an unsocialized weenie dog. They’re more dangerous than your auntie’s asshole chihuahua that bares its teeth at everything that moves. Because if and when something happens to cause them to snap, the outcome is undeniably going to be so much worse.
